Because I Love Crafting Like a Fat Kid Loves Ice Cream.

Category Archives: Blog giveaways

I just been to Hannah Ackroyd‘s site and found out about Diaper Mum’s first anniversary giveaway. I was trying to re-blog this from Hannah’s site using the re-blog (press this) button but for some reason it didn’t work for me. Talking about experiencing a glitch at an important moment, huh.

Well, anyway, I clicked the logo and it led me to Diaper Mum’s blog and OH.MY. GOD. What a fantabulous stuff she has prepared for this giveaway:

500 Crochet Blocks by Hannah Elgie and Kath Eastoe

a collection of lining materials for crochet bag projects

fancy brads

and pretty wooden buttons

I can’t believe how generous Diaper Mum is! For more details about this exciting giveaway, why don’t you visit Diaper Mum’s blog for more details. Simply click the logo on the left and it will automatically take you to the post 🙂 Good luck!

I love making all sorts of paper crafts – greeting cards, gift boxes/wraps, scrapbooking, etc. — especially for my friends and loved ones but, living in Phnom Penh where craft shops are next to non-existent, I am always frustrated that the materials I need are not my preferred kind, if not nowhere to be found here.

So I regularly check online stores and marvel at the wide array of supplies available. When my friend Kayni announced that she’s opening her own online store {Kayni and Kepi} specialising in handmade cards and craft supplies, I just have to go and have a look.

How I love the assortment of washi tapes in her store! WASHI tapes, not WASABI which I wrote before in one of her posts – I must have been too excited, silly me, hihihi.

Anyways, here is a short list of my favourite things from Kayni and Kepi {I hope my fairy blogmother is reading this!}:

Yes, my wishlist is not complete without rubber stamps. I’m the crazy rubber stamp lady, you see. I have a few in my possession and waiting to buy some more for quite awhile now but I put if off because I’m still doing some experimentation.

Last, but not the least, washi tapes. I’m a big fan of washi and deco tapes. They’re so much fun to use. In Kayni and Kepi, they come in pretty variations and here’s some of them:

Washi Masking Tape Blue Striped Wide

Washi Masking Tape Confetti Wide

Washi Masking Tape Dark Purple Date Planner

I still have a few rolls of tapes that I bought when I went to Tokyo a few years ago and I need to get more before they’re gone. I used them mostly for wrapping presents and scrapbooking and I tend to use them sparingly since they are hard to find here.

So there you go… If you are crazy about these, too, check out Kayni and Kepi’s shop and have a chance to win exciting stuff. All it takes you is a few minutes of your time to enter. You can also find Kayni’s Shops on Facebook and Etsy. Deadline is on Aug 31 so hurry up.

I’m a bit late in posting this, but here it is.
My PELUKA sister, PinayWifeSpeaks, is celebrating the third year anniversary of her blog. To mark this milestone, she is giving away gorgeous Cambodian silk scarves to lucky visitors to her blog. These await the lucky winners:

Cambodian silk (2.5 metres) dark red with embroidery. You can have this tailored to make a dress or long skirt or anything you fancy doing with them.

2 Silk scarves in deep purple and dark red.

Due to the overwhelming response, two additional scarves will also be given away to two lucky commenters as consolation prizes. These scarves will be of different style and design. So hurry up, the deadline is on April 30. Go to PinayWifeSpeaks for more details and join the fun! Just don’t forget to tell her you heard it from me here at Sreisaat Crafts 🙂
